Chapter 1 The stars and moon disappear at night, and the blood curtain falls on the world
The blue-white moon was as thin as a sickle, low and low on the top of the distant mountains, the night sky was deep, the stars twinkled, and the wind rushing high in the sky pushed the scattered clouds into the unknown. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The earth is hidden in darkness, there are insects and frogs, there are small songs left when the wind blows through the blades of grass, there are lonely roars of nocturnal beasts, and there is the sound of rivers rushing.
In the infinite night, in the deepest darkness, this is a place of great silence, as if hidden from the world, unknown. The land surrounded by mountains is flat and fertile, and the endless flow of water watered the plants and trees, making them flourish.
Under the stars and the crescent moon, thousands of sounds from nature itself make the night especially silent.
On the banks of the river, a small clearing had been cleared from the reeds that rose above the head, and a carriage and a few tall horses were parked, with a bonfire burning in the center, and people sitting around the ground.
Two tall, blood-red armor bodies stood half-leaning against the rock, and in front of them were two large silver swords, the blades of which were wider than the palms of their hands, and plunged straight into the earth. The armor has complex patterns, like a totem of a hundred beasts, and like a cloud and thunder gold pattern, covering almost the entire armor. The head of the armor is also almost completely closed, except for the eyes inlaid with two azure crystals, which seem to have endless air currents swirling inside.
"My lord, we are now in a place where monsters are rampant, and we need to be careful tonight! Why don't I activate the power of the blood armor, hide in the shadows and wait for the opportunity to move, if there is a change, it is better to surprise the enemy and win!"
A humming sound came from one of the armors, and the sound was like the grinding of iron, and it was unusually piercing.
Sitting around the fire were an old man with a white beard and a delicate girl in green clothes. The old man had kind eyebrows, a rich body, and was dressed in a gold-patterned brocade robe.
"It doesn't matter, where do you need to be so careful! We are here this time with a request, how can we be rude in front of the master! Kuang Guard, although the master of this place is not of my race, he is not a cruel and unscrupulous person who drinks blood! The demons we usually call are all beings who covet the desires in their hearts, and their souls have fallen into chaos and cannot extricate themselves, and many mountain and wild elves cannot be generalized. Besides, among the so-called demons, there are many people who are troubled by the human race! Hehe, fighting against each other is especially brutal. ”
The old man spoke softly, slowly. Then he took out a long cigarette stick from the pouch around his waist, knocked out the embers in the smoke pot at his feet, stuffed it with mellow tobacco, and took out a burning wood from the campfire, and lit the smoke pot.
"But all things in the world, except for those who are born with spirits, such as our human race, or the rumored dragon race, the shark tribe, or even the Pian Pian Yu clan in overseas places, the rest of the flowers and trees, birds and beasts, earth and rocks, and rivers, can all get their chance the day after tomorrow, cultivate into intelligent beings with spirit and knowledge, and even transform the mundane turbid body, drink the wind and moon morning dew, eat incense and fire essence, and turn into gods. Why do we ask for what the Heavenly Machine Hall wants? How can we be like those mediocre people, dividing the ethnic groups into a gully in our hearts? This is the country of building trees! The living beings in it, although they are different from us, are also people who travel together between heaven and earth! No matter how the beings in the world reject and are hostile to them, we must not look at them with the waves! Kuang Guard, don't say anything else, just say that this is the realm of elves!"
The old man talked at length, and he couldn't help coughing violently in excitement, and his face was a little bruised. The girl next to him hurriedly snatched the cigarette stick in his hand and gently patted the old man's back.
"Grandpa, as far as you know, it doesn't matter if they are demons or elves! Where does Uncle Kuang care about this, everyone knows that even those monsters who eat people and drink blood are better than many people in this world! But grandpa, how old are you, can't you smoke less big pots?"
The girl patted lightly for a moment, and the old man finally stopped coughing, and reached out to take the cigarette stick in the girl's hand, but when he saw that the latter was dodging, he gave up.
"Okay, okay! I know that Xiao Qian cares about her grandfather the most! If you don't smoke it, you won't smoke it! Kuang Guard, Lie Guard, take off your blood armor, Xiao Qian is right, the most evil thing in the world is the human heart, we are now 108,000 miles away from them! Besides, don't look at this river, it's narrow and shallow, but the riverbank is a pure land, and it's very safe! Maybe there are elves watching us secretly now, don't let your friends look down on our Tianjitang!"
As soon as the old man's voice fell, the two guards did not hesitate, only to see that the complicated and strange patterns on the two armors seemed to come to life, twisting and flowing, and in a moment they all retracted back to a circular bulge on the chest of the armor, and then the armor itself also turned into a flowing black liquid, attached to the bodies of the two big men, just in the blink of an eye, those black liquids had disappeared on the circular bulge.
The two guards were very burly, dressed in blue-black short clothes, and the middle-aged one of them had an ordinary appearance, with a hideous scar on his face, starting from his forehead and obliquely behind his ears, and his majesty was abnormal. The young one is the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the handsome man is extraordinary.
The two of them carefully placed the round object of armor back into the pendant hanging from their chests, and there was a tiny mechanism on the pendant that was used to hold it and prevent it from falling off. Then he went to the campfire and sat down, and one of the young guards, taking advantage of the inattention of others, quickly grimaced at the girl, who responded with his tongue out, and asked the old man:
"Grandpa, are there really elves watching us? What do they all look like? Are they uglier than Xiao Liezi? The monster we caught in Peach Blossom County last time looks terrifying!"
The fierce guards on the side grinned again, grimacing at the girl.
"Well, if you want to know, grandpa wants to make a deal with you first: just return the cigarette pouch and pot to grandpa, and grandpa will know everything he knows! You must know that this Middle-earth continent is the most vast and boundless, with billions of living beings, and its appearance is extraordinary and wonderful! The troublemakers are demons and demons, full of anger, and they are terrifying and terrifying! But the clouds and clouds are strange and strange, the heart is sincere and kind, the appearance is natural, and there are many beautiful and beautiful!"
The old man naturally saw the strange image on the faces of the girl and the young guard, but he was used to it. Hearing that his beloved granddaughter asked, he said with a smile.
"Grandpa is here to bluff me again!"
The girl pursed her lips, thought about it in her heart, couldn't hold back her curiosity, and reluctantly returned the long cigarette stick to the old man.
The old man took a puff of his cigarette pouch and coughed for a long time, before he calmed down his breath a little, straightened up, raised his hand to the west, and said:
"Speaking of elves, there is a lot to say! But here is a wilderness and desert, there is nothing to do, it is too early to go to bed, and it is also interesting to talk around the fire. As the saying goes, "the building wood is in the eye, you can know that the sky is high, and the earth is lamentably thick; I can't go in this life. ”
"Grandpa, don't deviate, I've been tired of hearing such myths since I was a child, I just need to listen to the monsters and elves!"
"Hehe, Xiaoqian is tired of hearing it, but the old man has just been interested! I can't stop! Don't interrupt again, grandpa will naturally talk about it one by one." ”
At the moment, the old man stroked his beard, shook his white head slightly, swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and talked eloquently, the heavens, the geography, how many things in the past, the rivers and lakes, and the mountains among the clouds, the leisurely immortals who sat and fished, hundreds of millions of miles of China, and countless strange beasts of Zhongxiu, between the slow words, they were all involved.
The two guards and the three girls heard all the unbelievable, all kinds of interesting things, happy things, injustices, sad and angry things, and before they knew it, they were already immersed in their hearts.
At some point, the canopy of heaven became a little strange, as if it were covered with a veil of blood-red, and a thick and wet mist rose from the river, from the grass and sand, and from the whole meadow and the distant mountains.
Between the boundless darkness of heaven and earth, the remoteness and loneliness that the night should have been, became very gloomy, as if it had been soaked in old soy sauce. When the bonfire was lit, and even the flames were stained with a bit of black and red, the four of them suddenly trembled and discovered this strange movement in the heavens and the earth.
The girl suddenly retracted into the old man's arms, and the two guards jumped up, slamming the pendant on their chests with one hand, and in an instant, the black liquid had flowed all over their bodies, and in the strange black and red fire flashes, they turned into two hideous blood-colored armors, and the blue crystals bloomed in their eyes.
The old man looked up at the sky, the stars were hidden, the sky was like blood, and there was light from behind the blood curtain, obscure and dark, he couldn't help but be stunned, and muttered in his mouth:
"The curtain is bloody, the light is dark, gloomy and secluded, up and down a total of three thousand miles, the immortals are unknowable, this is the heavens!"
The girl hugged the old man tightly, a pretty face was hidden in the old man's chest, and her voice trembled:
"Grandpa, what is the Heavenly Death? Didn't you let people kill you this day, so that the bleeding came and blocked the stars and moon?"
The old man did not answer immediately, frowned and thought for a moment, and said:
"If I remember correctly, there was a scene a thousand years ago, and it happened in the same place where this majestic building was. It's just that after the stars and the moon disappeared at that time, first the blood moon that had never appeared in the world since ancient times, only the blood moon in the classics hung in the sky, and the blood light sprinkled all over the Jianmu Divine Mountain from top to bottom, and then a little blue star suddenly bloomed on the blood moon, covering the endless blood light in an instant. The sea of blue light is like an abyss, crowding the heavens and the earth, and it is said that there are hundreds of millions of gods, and there is no one who has never seen it. Then in a moment, the vision suddenly disappeared, the breeze and the moon were cold, and the stars and clouds returned to heaven and earth. ”
So all four of them raised their heads and tried to look at the bloody canopy, until their necks ached, and they didn't see any blood moon and blue stars, but the black and red blood in the canopy gradually faded a little.
The old man and the girl are both weak people, they have not practiced martial arts, and they have not passed the law, and their necks have been a little stiff for a moment, and when they can't hold on, there is an endless blue light flashing between heaven and earth, and the light is scorching, stinging the eyeballs, making both of them cry and their eyes are hazy. Although the two guards have spar eyes on their armor, the spar has a slight gathering effect on this brilliant light, although they are both capable people with advanced martial arts, but they have also suffered more damage because of this, and there is nothing else in their eyes for a while except endless brilliance. And the blue light flashed, and there was a thief star, dragging a long blue light tail, and passed away.
The four of them were either teary-eyed, and at this time they were only rubbing their eyes, or their eyes were invisible, and they were flustered. But I didn't see that when the thief starlight tail burned out, he restrained the extreme speed of the fall, like the wind dragging light feathers, impartial, and fell not far from where the four people were, and there was no life.
The blood curtain above the nine heavens disappeared in an instant, and the stars and blue moon reappeared in the sky, but it was no longer the same thin moon and cold stars as before. But seeing that the moon is full like a basin, the stars are like fireflies, around the full moon, the Tianhe waterfall is clear like a mortal scene, the jade belt is fluttering, and the endless starlight sprinkled by the waterfall is like a big water scoop, falling to the land of hundreds of millions of gods far away, and the bits and pieces are bright and distinct.
The moon is full and overflowing, flowing waterfalls in the world, fragrant moments, for the emperor to flow pulp. Heaven and earth are not ruthless to all living beings at this moment.
